Why is cx88xx loading? You have another capture card in there
somewhere? And if you do, this is a conflict where the kernel cx88xx
module will not use the ivtv tveeprom. So you'll have to use the
kernel version of tveeprom.
I don't have anything installed except the PVR-500MCE. I have no
idea why cx88xx is loading. The machine has the pvr-500 and an
nvidia video card. That's it.
Then you should probably look into why bttv/cx88xx is loading. Thats
not a good thing. Look through dmesg for more bttv and cx88xx and
see what else is going on there.

I'm not sure whether or not I need to include the alias stuff in
modprobe. If I do, I get the errors. If I don't, the errors go
away, but I'm not sure if I am loading the right modules....
Let me clarify this a little. If you use the kmdls from atrpms, and
don't rename anything at all, and you want to use the ivtv versions
of everything, then you MUST have the alias lines in modprobe.conf.
Because thats what the ivtv modules are named in atrpms. Its a
failsafe device added by Axel to ensure that linux newbies don't get
the wrong modules loaded.
But, the kernel version of bttv and cx88xx are not compatible with
the ivtv version of tveeprom. So you'll get those unknown symbol
errors when those modules are loaded. But if you really don't need
those modules, no harm done.
A lot of people can use the kernel versions of tuner and tveeprom. I
don't think you're going to be one of them, because your kernel is
too old to have the sync stuff that Hans has been committing to the
v4l repository. So you'll need the ivtv versions, and you'll have
those unknown symbols errors. If you want to try the kernel version
of tveeprom and/or tuner, only remove those alias lines. Leave the
msp3400 line there to force it to use the ivtv version.
I just saw Adam's response that its lirc_i2c that is trying to load
bttv and cx88xx. You could try blacklisting those modules from
loading, but that might cause lirc_i2c to fail as well.
